ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule. wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5172), EPA published a direct final approval of a revision to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerned Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) Rule 2.21, Organic Liquid Storage and Transfer. The direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comment. The direct final rule stated that if adverse comments were received by March 3, 2006, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA received timely adverse comments. Consequently, with this action we are removing the direct final approval of YSAQMD rule 2.21. EPA will either address the comments in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal also published on February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5211), or propose an alternative action. As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not institute a second comment period on a subsequent final action. On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5174), EPA also published an interim final determination to stay CAA section 179 sanctions associated with YSAQMD Rule 2.21 based on our concurrent proposal to approve the State’s SIP revision as correcting deficiencies that initiated sanctions. This interim final determination and its stay of sanctions is not affected by this partial removal of the direct final action. Ventura County Air Pollution Control District Rule 74.14, the other rule approved in the February 1, 2006 direct final action, is not affected by this partial removal and is incorporated into the SIP as of the effective date of the February 1, 2006 direct final action. DATES: This action is effective April 11, 2006. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:47 Apr 10, 2006 Jkt 208001 EPA has established docket number EPA–R09–OAR–2005–0557 for this action.

AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 ACTION: 18219 Direct final rule. SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to exempt entities that import aircraft fire extinguishing spherical pressure vessels containing halon-1301 (‘‘aircraft halon bottles’’) for hydrostatic testing from the import petitioning requirements for used controlled substances. The petitioning requirements compel importers to submit detailed information to the Administrator concerning the origins of the substance at least forty working days before a shipment is to leave a foreign port of export. This direct final rule reduces the administrative burden on entities that are importing aircraft halon bottles for the purpose of maintaining these bottles to commercial safety specifications and standards set forth in Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness directives. This direct final rule does not exempt entities that wish to import bulk quantities of halon1301 in containers that are not being imported for purposes of hydrostatic testing. The direct final rule is effective on June 12, 2006 without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by May 11, 2006, or by May 26, 2006 if a hearing is requested. If adverse comments are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect. If anyone contacts the EPA requesting to speak at a public hearing by April 21, 2006, a public hearing will be held on April 25, 2006.

Partial Removal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California 
State Implementation Plan, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5172), EPA published a direct final 
approval of a revision to the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). This revision concerned Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management 
District (YSAQMD) Rule 2.21, Organic Liquid Storage and Transfer. The 
direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA 
anticipated no adverse comment. The direct final rule stated that if 
adverse comments were received by March 3, 2006, EPA would publish a 
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA received timely adverse 
comments. Consequently, with this action we are removing the direct 
final approval of YSAQMD rule 2.21. EPA will either address the 
comments in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal 
also published on February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5211), or propose an 
alternative action. As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on a subsequent final action.
    On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5174), EPA also published an interim 
final determination to stay CAA section 179 sanctions associated with 
YSAQMD Rule 2.21 based on our concurrent proposal to approve the 
State's SIP revision as correcting deficiencies that initiated 
sanctions. This interim final determination and its stay of sanctions 
is not affected by this partial removal of the direct final action.
    Ventura County Air Pollution Control District Rule 74.14, the other 
rule approved in the February 1, 2006 direct final action, is not 
affected by this partial removal and is incorporated into the SIP as of 
the effective date of the February 1, 2006 direct final action.

DATES: This action is effective April 11, 2006.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2005-0557 for 
this action. The index to the docket is available electronically at 
www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents in the docket 
are listed in the index, some information may be publicly available 
only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material), and some 
may not be publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI). To 
inspect the hard copy materials, please schedule an appointment during 
normal business hours with the contact listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
